Complacent? 'If that is the case then they won't play here again'

Neil Lennon reacted with characteristic anger to Celtic's 2-1 defeat at Motherwell last night and warned some of his players they will be moved out of the club if he suspects them of showing complacency in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.

The champions are 19 points clear with only nine league remaining but they lost to Motherwell for the first time in exactly two years. Lennon – usually at his most outspoken after poor displays – tore into his players. Georgios Samaras, Kris Commons, Victor Wanyama, Tom Rogic and Adam Matthews were all brought back into the team last night but Lennon said some of those who had nagged him to be picked had let him down badly at Fir Park. Only Gary Hooper and James Forrest escaped criticism.
